Don’t pay for a super expensive unit from traditional companies. Join Neighbor and save up to 50% this summer and spend your money on things that matter to you.

Why Lease a Storage Unit as a College Student?

Not only is a self storage unit valuable for the summer time, but there are many other ways that a storage unit can be useful and save college students hundreds of dollars.

Study Abroad Trips – Study abroad trips are amazing experiences that college students should totally take advantage of while at school. Go to Europe, Asia, South America, or the Middle East and experience the culture while learning the language, the business, or the history. You’ll be gone for over a semester and will need a place to keep your things while your away so self storage is the obvious answer.

College Students in Expensive Cities – Are you trapped in a city and rent is to expensive to have a huge dorm room to house all your belongings? Its okay to be a hoarder but save your roommates a ton of stress and use a self storage unit. Units are always super cheap, convenient, and secure.

Running a Side Business – Maybe you are an entrepreneur? Then perfect, rent a self storage unit and stop turning your dorm room into a production factory. Store your inventory, create products, sell products, etc. managers don’t care what you do out of your unit so take advantage of the cheap work space while you can.

How Big of a Storage Unit does a College Student Need?

Let’s be honest about this now. Unless you own a home you don’t need anything larger than a 5 x 10 unit and for 90% of you will only need a 5 x 5 unit. Unfortunately, these spaces go the fastest at traditional facilities and have the longest set contracts.

Check out Neighbor and you’ll find that there is a plentiful amount of 5 x 5 and 5 x 10 spaces available all for a cheaper price than traditional storage. The 5 x 5 will hold all your personal belongings and small furniture easily. If you have larger furniture like a couch, bed, or TV then we’d suggest you go for the 5 x 10 space. That way you’ll have plenty of room to stack your belongings appropriately so they don’t break as you close the door.

Use the Referral Program to get $$$ for the Summer!

Get $50 if a host signs up their space and it gets rented or get $25 for every referral that signs up to rent a space. If your a student then sign up all your friends and you could literally have your space paid for by others. If you just want to be an affiliate that is okay too!
